Here’s a retro treat for PC gamers. The Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics Bundle contains 59 Steam games for only US$15.49 (AU$20.35). This virtual collection of all-time favourite titles can be enjoyed all within the new Sega 3D Hub. Please note: this package delivers as a single Steam key.

The Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics Bundle comes with a single Steam key, which will be available right away after purchase. This is a region-locked product that will not activate in the following regions: China, Hong Kong, Japan, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Republic of Korea, Russia and Taiwan. Here are the highlights of the collection.

Sonic the Hedgehog

“Sonic the Hedgehog” completely shaped up a generation of gamers. This game actually made its console worth buying. And Sonic is the torch bearer of Sega just as Mario is for Nintendo.

This platformer revolutionised its genre with its blazing gameplay. It paved the way for other games to adapt its most essential element: tempo. Speed kills, but Sonic used it to bring thrills.

Streets of Rage 2

“Streets of Rage 2” is considered to be the best instalment in the popular beat ‘em up series. Compared to its predecessor, this game is more polished and features more levels and characters.

Golden Axe

“Golden Axe” is one of the first side-scrolling arcade hack ‘n’ slash games. It focuses on three heroes, including an axe-wielding dwarf named Gilius Thunderhead whose twin brother was slain by Death Adder’s soldiers. The other two are Ax Battler, a barbarian wielding a two-handed broadsword who’s looking to avenge his mother, and Tyris Flare, an amazon who brandishes a longsword whose parents were murdered by Death Adder.

The Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics Bundle is available until March 28 at Bundle Stars. The entire package offers US$46.50 (AU$61.08) or 75 percent in total savings. Here is the bundle’s complete list of games.
